LONDON MADE ME

A creative retail accelerator programme empowering London creatives to re-energise retail and transform our high streets. Launched in November 2022 in collaboration with The Mayor of London’s Creative Enterprise Zone Programme.

London Made Me is a pioneering pop-up incubator programme that aims to inspire, tool-up and empower the city’s most exciting creatives to launch their own physical spaces on the high street.

London Made Me

The 8 week programme consists of 3 core areas of learning:

1/ Learn

A tailored 2 week learning programme led by a host of specialist experts and speakers from across retail, marketing and business.
2/ Build

An intense 7 day ‘hands on’ experience of planning and building the retail store together - supported by a specialist team of designers and builders.
3/ Trade

Time to launch! 4 weeks of trading as a collective in London’s iconic West End, meeting customers, making sales and learning what creates success in-store.

London Made Me 2022 brought our cohort of creatives an invaluable set of experiences, skills and contacts - including:

increased sales revenues during the festive period
cross collaborations and contact sharing with network of LMM creatives
feedback and insights into products, pricing and customer profile
visits from prominent influencers and press
new stockists across the city
bespoke commissions from customers
opportunity to use shop space for product launches, previews and events
